5.0 out of 5 stars A Moving Depiction of Migrant Labor, 29 Oct 1998
By A Customer
Working Cotton is a very moving look at a little girl, Shelan, and her daily life of working the cotton fields. It realistically brings to life the hardships that she and her family face, through sparse prose and impressionistic artwork, the reader feels the burden of the cotton sack upon their back. I almost cried reading it, knowing that for many children in the United States and worldwide this type of work is typical and expected to help the survival of the family. Its a good book to share with children to help them not take for granted the life that they lead. And its also a great way to show that not every story has a happy ending, just an ending.
